Os melhores do Ano segundo Stephen King

Já virou tradição, desde 2006 King escreve para a Entertainment Weekly sua lista dos melhores do ano.

Filmes:

1. Let Me In
Moving and bloodthirsty, tender and horrifying, sweet and gruesome. These beautifully drawn contrasts — plus the bleak snowscape of Los Alamos, N.M. — make Let Me In the best remake (from the Swedish film Let the Right One In) of the year, and the best horror film of the decade. It's a story of teenage love and loss that makes the Twilight films look pallid by comparison.

2. Atração Perigosa (The Town)

3. A Origem (Inception)
Did I fully understand the dream-within-a-dream concept? I did not. Nor did I care. Christopher Nolan's delirious dreamscapes filled me with delight and wonder, and that was enough. TV is often great at what it does, but sometimes only the big screen will do. For long stretches of Inception, I was literally unable to look away.

4. A Rede Social (The Social Network)

5. Ladrões (Takers)

6. Kick-Ass – Quebrando Tudo (Kick-Ass)
An ordinary kid named Dave (Aaron Johnson) learns that being a superhero isn't all it's cracked up to be. The performances of Chloë Grace Moretz as the petite, bloodthirsty Hit Girl and Nicolas Cage at his balls-to-the-wall craziest as her father are what make the movie shine. Kick-Ass also contains the second-best line of the year: ''Now switch to kryptoniiiiite!''

7. Splice – A Nova Espécie (Splice)

8. Monstros (Monsters)

9. Jackass 3D
I actually saw it in 2-D, but humor this low hardly needs an extra dimension. Few of the gags can be described in a family magazine, so let's leave it at this: If you find the idea of grown men in their underpants playing tetherball with a hive of pissed-off Africanized bees as hilarious as I do, you loved Jackass. If not...go rent a Woody Allen movie.

10. Zona Verde (Green Zone)


Let me in é a refilmagem do sueco "deixe ela entrar", ele coloca esse filme não só como o melhor do ano mais o melhor horror da década.

(...)o melhor filme de horror da década, uma estória de amor adolescente e perda que fazem os filmes Crepúsculo parecerem palidos em comparação.

Melhores programas de TV:

10. Morning Joe – “good talk for the politically inclined”

9. Boardwalk Empire
Gangsters with tommy guns, bare-breasted chorus girls, sinister mobsters. We've seen it all before, but Steve Buscemi lends humor and gravitas to the role of Nucky Thompson. The Martin Scorsese-directed premiere was bravura, the Atlantic City sets are luxurious, and the writing is sharp. ''You can't be half a gangster,'' Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) tells Nucky, but the Nuckster tries.

8. SpongeBob SquarePants – “always witty and often fall-on-the-floor hilarious”
Okay, I'm addicted to life in Bikini Bottom; do you have a problem with that? The show is always witty and often fall-on-the-floor hilarious.

7. Sons of Anarchy
You don't have to be Irish to love season 3 of Sons of Anarchy, but it helps. The split story — between Belfast and Charming, Calif. — occasionally feels strained, but the characters, essentially working-class dudes walking the thin edge of the law, remain magnetic. You care about their struggles.

6. Dexter
Season 4 featured the brilliant John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer, and probably the most shocking finale of last year. Michael C. Hall is consistently terrific in season 5 as a serial killer bringing up baby in suburban Miami. Props also to Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dexter's foulmouthed sister, Debra.

5. Damages
Season 3 wasn't as crisply plotted as the first two, but the premise — the icily unscrupulous Patty Hewes trying to retrieve the stashed fortune of a Bernie Madoff-type scam artist — was deeply satisfying. Ted Danson continues to charm as the slimy businessman Arthur Frobisher...who should really have a series of his own.

4. The Event – “clever, suspenseful drama”
In this clever, suspenseful drama, the U.S. is holding political prisoners in the Arctic: not terrorists, but aliens who might be terrorists. The Event is 24 crossbred with Lost, and that's a helluva gene pool. Kudos to Jason Ritter in the lead role and Laura Innes as Sophia, the leader of the marooned aliens.

3. Breaking Bad
Bryan Cranston is still riveting as rogue chem teacher Walter White, Aaron Paul finally won his richly deserved Emmy, and Giancarlo Esposito — the chicken king who runs a meth empire on the side — is the smoothest criminal on TV. Season 3 gasped a bit as it reached the finish line, though. Memo to creator Vince Gilligan: It's time for closure.

2. The Walking Dead – “21st-century rarity, appointment TV”
What makes zombies scary again? Start with fine actors (headed by Andrew Lincoln and Sarah Wayne Callies), add taut scripts about likable people under stress, and throw in beautiful photography, so that the lush Georgia summer contrasts with the rotters shambling through the streets of Atlanta. All of a sudden you're talking about that 21st-century rarity, appointment TV. NBC passed on this series. Need I say more about why basic cable is now the place to be?

1. Friday Night Lights – “a lot of love and honesty has gone into FNL and it shows every week.”

Adorei essa lista, só o "Friday Night Lights" e "Morning Joe", que eu não conheço.
